“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Friday T&A: Empire of the Undead Edition

We have certainly gotten off to quite a start in 2026. With the straight-up deposition and kidnapping of President Maduro of Venezuela, the God-Emperor has essentially declared that America is, in fact, a piratical empire that thinks it can do whatever the hell it...
